this non academic very much enjoys professor Dorling, find his lectures engaging and very informative/interesting, a pleasure to watch thankyou professor and LSE for putting this out
Living in the US I can tell you everything he is saying is true....in the US it it so bad that we have an unofficial caste system....almost as bad as 🇮🇳....but unwritten.... I have a decent Union job... The pay puts me in the middle class..... Do I like the job I despise the job.. I wanted To be a speech psychologist but at age 18 and 19 I was unable to get my add meds.... Once I had gotten the job I'm still stuck at At the age of 48..... I went back to college and with some help was able to get into the speech language pathology/audiology program...... I got up to a 120 credits which is a bachelor's degree but it will get you nothing in that deal I needed a masters..... To earn that master's I would have had to quit my job and lose my health insurance.... Which would have put me right back in the add conundrum.... Not only would I have had to quit my job I would have had to take it out a loan of over $50000..... I figured There's no chance.... Just stay where I am.... Everything I've learned to become educated in various thanks I've had to teach myself and read.... Look at lectures like this.... I will tell you that now I the lutely regret the fact that my family was forced to leave Ireland and Germany..... I do have a right to return to Ireland.... And someday I'd like to do that cause life here.... Aside from my family... And wife and my brother and close family and a few close friends.... The United States is a horrible society to live in.... It doesn't just lead to stress and overeating.. I've done some of that got a few extra pounds.... But it does cause addiction to prescriptions stress pills... Pills in the benzodiazipine family.... A medicine that turns on you over time.... But I'm telling you the need to escthe shittiness and stupidity Of American culture even if only temporary and in your head is widespread..... Winning off of those Benzo's right now... I realized They are worse.... It's not an easy process and hes right... If you are a person who cares about changing things or helping people.... Which is the reason I wanted to get in the speech pathology because my brother had a cleft lip and palate... When I got access to healthcare through my job..... And got treat meant it took me no dominant to figure out what major I wanted to do..... But when I found out That it would be impossible for someone Like me to just take out a $50000 loan... While quitting my job and losing my health care thus bringing back the symptof ADHD... I've been better ever since.... Because I made it I got into the program... I went to college through work through all kinds of shift.... Only to find out that getting a master's degree was completely out of my reach... Especially as I'm paying for a place to live it just sucks.... Anybody thinking of coming to America don't believe the hype.... Our life expectancy is especially in conservative States In the South where there is no social say if that has sunk to 3rd world country levels there are States where the life expectancy in the US is 71 and 69.... It's worse over here than even he is presenting on that graph...... It is only a first world country for about 20% of the population if that...
Have to say the Professor speaks a hell of a lot of sense, especially his closing comments, he’s someone who understands that the people who are classed as having an unskilled job, or what the majority of the U.K. called unskilled are human beings, in the words of Shelly, ye are many, they are few, when the people who sweep the streets, deliver the goods, fill the shelves realise they have the upper hand, we may have an equal society
Great talk and Q&A, thanks to the LSE and Professor Dorling for posting. Correlation is not automatically causation but the sociological analysis is spot on. Britain probably has a worse problem with inequality than Europe not because of any political philosophy but because of our continuing belief in a class system. Maybe it is also something to do with ignorance being fashionable since the 1970's, culminating in today's post truth society.
No it's not your class system, but 1.you got linked to American economy through your financial services economy which was. THATCHER's great achievement. Being. linked to Wall Street is like learning from a vicious rapacious beast. AND from it you learned the new rules of unregulated Capitalism.. That came about through the destruction of the unions.
@bagariddum i hope the new Labor party leader Starmer is a better than Corbin who just did not understand who were his friends and who were his rreal enemies. like an idiot he never could understand that the Eu bureaucracy could be his best ally. He was obsessed with implementing Grand scale Socialism in one country; when todays realities that you have to fight for these changes on a multi nation level. for that to happen you have to create alliances with Left parties in Europe. Today's capitalism which i call RABID CAPITALISM works on world wide basis. Todays capitalists have no loyalty to country, if they get rich in one country, they ship their profits to places where they are taxed less and can control the government better(not that they have bribed less in the West). If one country implements a more progressive program of social services and regulation by itsel; it will quickly find itself with a declining manufaturing base as firms flee to China. He totally misreads the EU bureaucracy; he thought it was adopting a neo liberal oirentation when it was it was striving to create a balance between social needs and the imperatives of economic growth. But Corbin is so poor at politics, he does not know what compromise and patience mean. on the other hand, he does not see how the EU seeks to minimize tax evasion by the rich through places like Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Isle of Mann. He seems to not know and he should that the motives behind rich Brexiteers in demonizing the Eu is that they are afraid the EU might just restrict their money movements. In fact the proof that the rich Brexiteers want even less restrictions on money movements is their stated goal of turning London into Singapore on the Thames, a regime that lets the rich do as they please while the working class lives on Chinese wages. SINGAPORE ON THE THAMES is the dream of rich Brexiteers. Hopefully Starmer is more in intelligent than Corbin. If Corbin was a faculty member at my University, we would ignore him and his statements; saying "there goes our Marxist in residence."
As if it wasn't already the case... All of the inequalities laid out by Dorling in this talk are the result of policies implemented by successive British governments, not the result of any EU law.
Talking about inequality. If you lost your job and are on universal credit, if you found a few hours of work, 63% is deducted from UC; however if you are on furlough, hence you are allowed to 80% of your salary but you can have a job on the side. They have a double salary. Those who lost their job due to Covid got punished 3 times: job loss, universal credit, having to pay for those on furlough via that 63% deduction from their benefit if they dare to get back on their feet in this terrifying economy. Just think about this fallacy, it makes your stomach revolt.
you fail to metiion the even more millions of people on disibility benefit who got nada - I do not feel symtathy for UC with the uplift now calling foul.
I like how Dorling in his videos refers to Britain as not being normal. I wonder if he has ever done a whole sumamry of just how abnormal Britain actually is
Kia ora Danny, Forecasting 20 years out without reference to the climate and biodiversity crisis we are in globally is a really (really) bad look. Our kids and their kids will be really (really) struggling with food shorts, heat, chaotic weather patterns and the onset of armed groups around the global north, as there is today in the global south. I like what you do, but we have to get real about the evil our governments do in our name with our tax monies around the planet... nga mihi, haere pai
One thing is for sure 1 of these days. Especially if I can get my family to come along I'm going back to Ireland.. And I have every right to do so... They have the right of return for people who were forced to leave all the way back to great great great grandparents.. My great grandmother was straight off the boat and I qualify.... I can't wait till that day to gets there

I am new to Danny Dorling and must say that to have an honest academic perspective is just so refreshing.
Have to say the Professor speaks a hell of a lot of sense, especially his closing comments, he’s someone who understands that the people who are classed as having an unskilled job, or what the majority of the U.K. called unskilled are human beings, in the words of Shelly, ye are many, they are few, when the people who sweep the streets, deliver the goods, fill the shelves realise they have the upper hand, we may have an equal society

You're spot on; unregulated capitalism imported from the.U.S. is at the root of UK's inequality.

Now the British will learn what it's like to be governed by the British

That would be pretty interesting indeed.
The middle classes: envious of the rich, contemptuous of the poor.
Athens is cheap to eat out. Went in 2019. Kebab and chips €1.80 each - if one eats where the locals eat.
